    By-pass AV or not?

    Hi, I believe your Blu-ray player has dual hdmi so you've probably routed the audio direct to your receiver and have the option of sending the picture direct to your tv . I'm afraid I don't have a simple answer to your question if you had something like a 4k upscaling lumagen then the answer...

    Can a monitor match a tv?

    I use a monitor Panasonic 50vx100, they are very good with external video processors such as the Lumagen Radiance. The components tend to be higher quality than consumer panels as they are often used in 24/7 situations such as airports although the blacks aren't as good as the present day...

    Throw away society vs customer service

    I agree , for me the quality of the Trinitrons CRTs in Europe took a downturn when they switched to 16:9 format and 100hz (better though for people who suffer from crt flicker)around 2002. I think the Welsh and Japanese manufactured Trinitron 4:3 50hz CRTs were better quality. However this...

    I'm glad you're happy with the Sony. I haven't seen "Dong Yi" myself but I saw Han Hyo Joo in "Spring Waltz " some time ago and enjoyed watching it. I wish I had more time to watch K-dramas but then I'd probably pick "Brilliant Legacy " to watch rather than a period drama.I can see why some...

I preferred the standard def pictures on the Philips 40 PFL 7605 and the Toshiba WL753 which were awarded 4 stars and...
